Walnut, Blueberry, Banana Ice Cream

Summer! The best time of year (in my humble opinion). And what better treat to eat on this hot summer day than this Walnut Banana Blueberry Ice Cream.

This is no ordinary ice cream. It’s sugar-free. Oil-free. And so, so delicious!

The perfect combination of frostiness, thickness, creaminess, and sweetness.

This cold and creamy treat is so extraordinary, so thick, soooo unlike your average smoothie, I couldn’t call it a smoothie. It needed a new name.

Something like, “The Thickest, Creamiest, Richest, Sugar-Free, Healthy, Sorta-Like a Smoothie-Like Treat, Except Not Really a Smoothie, that You’ve Ever Eaten with a Spoon Because You Can’t Drink It with a Straw”.

Or something like that.

(Maybe Walnut Banana Blueberry Ice Cream would be easier.)

Walnut, Blueberry, Banana Ice Cream

Rich, creamy, sugar-free. No ice-cream maker needed.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup raw walnuts
• 3/8 cup full-fat, canned coconut milk
• 1/2 small ripe banana - Banana should be ripe, but not too ripe.
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/8 teaspoon salt - scant
• 2 1/2 medium frozen ripe bananas, cut into pieces - (approx. 2 1/2 cups frozen banana pieces)
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

• Place nuts, milk, fresh banana, vanilla, and salt in high-powered blender and blend until smooth.
• Add frozen bananas. Blend on high speed just until lumps disappear, but do not over blend or mixture will become runny.
• Mix in slightly chopped or whole berries.
• Serve immediately.

Notes

You’ll need a high-power blender to make this super thick, frosty, and creamy ice cream.

Be sure to only blend this smoothie just long enough to blend the banana pieces. If blended any longer the smoothie will lose its frosty thickness.

Yield: 1 to 2 servings
